Licensing Bill – Making Tony and Cheri criminals.

Did anyone see "Trust me, I'm a politician" on BBC 2 Saturday night.   In the middle of it Tony and Cheri Blair committed what will become a most serious criminal offence. They were singing Christmas Carols accompanied by a number of infant children, playing fiddles, flutes and that most dangerous of weapons, the clarinet (dangerous because when the written note C is played it sounds B flat thus confounding Jobsworth from the Town Hall).

Moreover there were live cables threaded through these children (six months says Kim Howells, Culture Secretary).   Even if they had given the required notice to the Town Hall and Met Police and paid their £20, they would still deserve six months in prison because the audience must have exceeded the maximum the Licensing Bill will allow which is 499.

The good news is that if he keeps his nose clean he will be out in 3 months, by which time Prescott will have been in charge for only that time, and only half of Southern England will have been concreted over.
